# Lorentz Transformations Lorentz transformations are the mathematical equations that relate space and time coordinates between two observers moving at constant velocity relative to each other, while respecting Einstein's principle that the speed of light is the same for all observers. Unlike Galilean transformations (which assume time is absolute), they show that time and space are intertwined: moving clocks run slower, moving objects contract along their direction of motion, and events that are simultaneous for one observer may not be simultaneous for another. These transformations preserve the spacetime interval (s² = c²t² - x² - y² - z²), which is the relativistic analog of distance being preserved in spatial rotations. They're the mathematical foundation of special relativity and reduce to ordinary Galilean transformations when velocities are much smaller than the speed of light.
